Summary: Italian technical pamphlet describing an improved chemical apparatus for generating and purifying hydrogen gas for balloon inflation. The author critiques earlier methods as inefficient and costly, discusses the chemical production of hydrogen from diluted sulfuric acid and metal, and proposes a redesigned system intended to reduce gas loss, improve purity, and make aerostatic operations safer and more economical. Includes a folded diagram of the apparatus.Original FormatbooksBibliographic CitationMonographs Collection/The Museum of Flight Library CollectionRightsNo copyright - United StatesCatalog RecordView original catalog record
